Job description
Offer DescriptionWe are seeking a talented and ambitious product developer to join our team and participate in a project that involves interactions with industry, market and research. The position involves working with the R&D team of Cooling Photonics, a dynamic ICN2 start-up.The candidate will be responsible for the development of multi-functional films for the application of photovoltaic and other use cases.These coatings are characterized by spectroscopy (UVVIS and IR) and their thermal performance by outdoor field tests that monitor the temperature and net cooling power with respect to a reference. Working with the R&D team, the candidate will be responsible for the planning, preparation, execution, data analysis and reporting of field test activities for an Industrial and academic project. The objective of the project is to integrate hierarchical micro/nanostructured patterns on solar photovoltaics to combine different functionalities. Our aim is to contribute to reduce the intensive energy use and carbon footprint of conventional cooling technologies and increase the efficiency of other renewable energy technologies such as PV.This contract is part of the project CPP2021-008856 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by European Union “NextGenrationEU”/PRTR”Main Tasks and responsibilities:We look for exceptional people and give them a level of responsibility, exposure and autonomy that will accelerate their career. You will be responsible for working with other scientists and engineering team members. Ideally, the successful applicant has experience in thermal engineering, instrumentation, thermal photonics, renewable and clean energy. The main goal is to implement and perform outdoor field tests on our passive cooling materials, and contribute to the design and analysis of tests adapted to pilot projects with the industry.Responsibilities● Characterization and field testing of multi-functional coatings in relevant environment reporting their performance.● Participate in the thermal performance characterization and outdoor field tests for pilot projects. These tests include improved electric performance of solar cells and the evaluation of the cooling performance obtained by continuous temperature cycle and net cooling power measurements.● Participate in the conception, the design and the set-up of experiments.● Oversee the project’s lifecycle, from initiation to closure, ensuring adherence to project management best practices and methodologies.● Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project scope, objectives, and deliverables, and establish project plans, schedules, and budgets.● Provide leadership and support to project teams, ensuring effective communication, coordination, and collaboration to achieve project goals.● Monitor project progress, identify risks and issues, and implement proactive measures to mitigate them, ensuring projects stay on track and within budget.● Develop and maintain project documentation, including project plans, schedules, and status reports, and ensure timely and accurate reporting to stakeholders.● Manage stakeholder expectations and foster strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including clients, partners, and funding agencies.● Support the preparation of applications for public funding, including researching funding opportunities, preparing project proposals, and coordinating with relevant departments.● Stay up to date with industry trends, project management methodologies, and funding opportunities, and share best practices with the team to enhance project management capabilities.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Chemistry Education Level PhD or equivalentLanguages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) Country Spain State/Province Barcelona City Bellaterra Postal Code 08193 Street Campus de la UAB, Av.
